• Austin Riley (Braves' No. 13) is making good use of the long ball for Rome in the Class A South Atlantic League Finals. Riley went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer in Game 3 and has now gone deep in each of the past two games. The 19-year-old hit 20 homers in 129 games during the regular season, his first full year as a professional.

"He started me with a curveball that I swung and fouled off and then came back with another curveball that I took. So in my mind, I was thinking there was a good chance he was going to come back with a fastball," Riley told MiLB.com. "That's what I sat on and he kind of left it over the plate. I put a pretty good swing on it."

• Dustin Peterson (Braves' No. 18) snapped an 0-for-11 skid with a four-hit performance for the M-Braves in a season-ending loss to Double-A Jackson. Peterson hit a solo homer in Mississippi's 11-3 loss and batted .345 during the postseason. Braves No. 29 prospect A.J. Minter needed only six pitches to toss a perfect frame in relief in his first appearance in the Southern League Finals. The 23-year-old lefty struck out one and finished the postseason with four strikeouts in 3 1/3 perfect innings.

• Walker Buehler (Dodgers' No. 7) put together a short-but-effective start for Class A Great Lakes as the Loons evened up the Midwest League Finals at one game apiece. Buehler, the Dodgers' first-round pick in 2015, threw 43 pitches (29 strikes) and gave up two hits in three scoreless innings. He struck out four.

• Omar Estevez (Dodgers' No. 12) provided the bulk of the offense for Class A Great Lakes. The second baseman put the Loons on the board with a two-run single in the third and later scored a run in the seventh. Estevez finished 2-for-5 with two RBIs in the 4-0 win.

"It was huge," Great Lakes manager Gil Velazquez told MiLB.com. "He continues to be clutch for us. He's been clutch for us in most situations and finds a way to come through for us when he comes up in situations like that. It's nothing that's surprising, It's just awesome for an 18-year-old to be playing this way."

• Alberto Tirado (Phillies' No. 29) threw well, but a couple of mistakes proved costly for Lakewood in Game 3 of the Class A South Atlantic League Finals. Tirado struck out the side in the third but gave up a solo homer to lead off the fourth. The 21-year-old threw five innings, struck out seven and gave up two earned runs on six hits.

• Jose Trevino (Rangers' No. 21) helped High Desert to a win in Game 1 of the California League Finals. The 23-year-old catcher went 3-for-6 with a home run and three RBIs in his club's 5-4 extra-innings win over Visalia.

• Josh Staumont (Royals' No. 11) gave Northwest Arkansas exactly what it needed. Facing elimination in the Double-A Texas League Finals, the right-hander fired 6 1/3 scoreless innings. Staumont threw 59 of his 89 pitches for strikes and gave up just three hits while notching eight strikeouts.
